Customizing Estate Plans That Fit Your Future

Most people think that only the very wealthy need estate planning. However, this common misconception is not true. Almost everyone needs and can benefit from a well-crafted estate plan. That is because you likely have an estate, whether you think so or not. Everything you own makes up your estate, from your bank accounts to your home, your car, your personal belongings, investments and more. You also likely have loved ones and other beneficiaries to whom you wish to pass on these assets. However, if you pass away without a plan, your estate will be settled according to state laws by a judge whom you have never met and who has no idea what your preferences might have been.

What To Know About Estate Planning In Idaho

Through the use of various legal documents, you can provide details on how you wish to distribute your assets as well as how to handle certain responsibilities upon your death or incapacitation. These documents can include:

• Wills: A last will and testament is the foundation of your plan, naming your heirs and beneficiaries, your assets, how to pass them on, and more.
• Various types of trusts exist for different purposes: One of the most common is the living trust into which you pass your assets which can be managed by you during your lifetime and passed on according to your instructions after you are gone.
• Living will and durable power of attorney for health care: This authorizes a trusted person to make medical decisions on your behalf when you are unable to express your wishes and lays out the end-of-life treatments you wish to have or not have.
